New Additions to Leagues Check Up (ECNL & GA)

[Anonymous]

this is ridiculous!!!!

There are a TOTAL of 70 clubs in the US that have 2 or more players verbally committed to Power 4 programs in the Class of 2026. 57 of them are #ECNL clubs and 13 are #GirlsAcademy clubs. There are 7 clubs that have 10

So you're saying that this is true?

"104 ECNL clubs failed to commit 16 or more D1 recruits"

This is the definition of a cherry picked statistic.

Why D1 only?
Why 8 or more? (Very strange attribute. Why not add in left handedness)

Because P4 is the pinnacle of college soccer? Because D1 is higher than D2? Because most kids who play high level club soccer aspire to play for North Carolina and not Eastern Polytechnical school of the Blue Ridge Mountains?

Start a twitter account listing NAIA commitments, I am sure all 7 of your subscribers would be grateful.

You cant even define cherry picked correctly. 🤣

Ummm.... Calling out a specific subset of data in this case P4 or D1 is what cherry picking means.

Here's a link you can use to educate yourself.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking
"Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that may contradict that position."

OK, I will play, again. What evidence is suppressed? Or what is incomplete?

There is literally no large data set of recruiting information that you can utilize that would show anything differently.

I just dont get why people have such little common sense. More college players, pros, USWNT members, etc etc come from ECNL than GA.

Yes, that is correct.

So, 57 ECNL clubs did and 104 did not=35.4%

And 16 GA did and 99 did not=13.9%

So we can now agree that these were not cherry picked since it is your data set? 😂

Good job to all these clubs regardless of league. This represents the achievement a lot of player goals. We shouldn't forget that it's their talent and hard work earning these opportunities.

It's because you haven't figured out yet that data without context can be manilupated to say anything. Even with context data can be manipulated to show specific outcomes.

If you're going to position yourself has the agitator of information you need to come off as unbiased or people will assume that youre manipulating data to provide specific outcomes that imply specific things.

Your problem is you cant help yourself from always slipping in some kind of bias. Which makes people distrust the data being presented.

Actually, GA types acknowledge this and are fine with it. It's the constant -- hey look at us and how amazing we are/how GA is not that leads to the trolling/picking apart of the stats (some of which has a point at times/other times it's just trash talk in response because, yes, this is anonymous forum and you shouldn't expect anything less.

My kid plays at an ECNL club that is not near the DC area that also is not on this list. They have commits at all three levels but announce them as a class as a club policy. I guess twitter guy could scrape from individual posts, but to this point its not on that chart

LOL. OK, then YOU manipulate the data to make it show GA is better than ECNL in terms of college recruiting. Should be simple since you have already said it can be manipulated to say anything. This should be hysterical.

GA in Northern Cook County Illinois for April of 2024 had more D1 recruits than any other ECNL team in Zip Codes that end with 6😂

Yes, this is relevant to note. The largest GA club in our area is nowhere to be found and their 09 team was a national runner-up today.

Oh, you are talking about Jags. Yes, they should have some at least.

Finally some substantive conversation. I do think the first league that takes that focus will prevail in the long run. The other option is sort of what Gotham FC has done by enlisting a bunch of clubs from both leagues as feeders. That forces the clubs to actually focus on development in theory. Unlikely, but we can all wish right?
